Congratulations, Marshall! Well deserved recognition for the expertise (and perseverance) you have so often demonstrated in the area of large...
Thank you for posting you Venus denarius, TTerrier, and for the discussion on the dating. I confess I have never paid much attention to the dating...
Well done, CBD! I hope to cherry-pick one of these one day.
Does this variety not have the die chip above the 8? I can't see it on CBD's coin. I thought this was supposed to be a marker for all 1858/7's?
I was also hoping to see a '36 with reeded edge.....;). But, the 1815 makes up for it. Beautiful coin. BTW, which is actually scarcer, the 1815...
Following a specific theme may be an idea for a German Taler collection. One theme that I like are the city-view Talers. Coinage portraying views...
Great find! Interesting how Galba denarii are almost never found. I found 2 Vitellius but never a Galba, either.
I can let you have my 2016 AKS (31. Auflage) if you want (free of course). I have the 2018, but frankly, not much difference as prices really do...
I wish you lots of fun with Talers! German coinage from the 1800's in general was my first collecting passion, and I still have quite a number of...
I forgot to mention the 'Standard catalogue of German Coins', 1501- Present, compiled by N.D Nicol. Published by KP (?). This is a very...
Hi Brandon, I collect German coin of the late 1700's and into 1870. For this area I highly recommend the following catalogues: 1. Deutscher...
That makes three already...
interesting you post that 1837 half. I have wondered the same about this 1837 half I have. Notice how the obverse edge and denticles are quite...
Thank you Paddy !
Before we get too far away from the year 1861, I thought I would throw in this cent from that year (totally forgot I have one.....):). [ATTACH]...
Just a few IHC's in my collection - this is one of my favourite. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
They are all very nice. I have to agree, though, the 1801 and 1802 are special. The 1794 half dollar is of course a scarce and significant issue,...
Now we want to see your 1807:).
My goodness, Larry! have you won the lottery? An absolutely lovely coin. I'll venture a grade too: EF45, for a variety which (I think) is known...
That is a beautiful aureus, Suarez (interesting name)! Very well chosen. As you say, "Many collectors often start by getting worn "starter"...
